Beginning December 1, 2002 you can pay West Virginia Personal Income taxes and any Business Tax billing by credit card. We have partnered with Official Payments Corporation to provide this service. If you use this service, you will be charged a convenience fee in addition to the amount of tax you owe.

Convenience, Flexibility, and Rewards.

Enjoy the convenience, flexibility, and rewards of credit card payments for taxes. In cooperation with the West Virginia State Tax Department, Official Payments Corporation offers individuals and businesses the opportunity to pay taxes by telephone or directly over the Internet.

Official Payments Corporation , the credit card service provider, charges a convenience fee based upon the amount of the transaction. The convenience fee is $1.00 for payments up to $40.00 and 2.5% of the payment amount for payments greater than $40.00. Click here to calculate the fee on a specific amount.

Easy Payment via Phone or Internet.

To pay by credit card, call the toll free number 1-800-2PAY-TAXSM (800-272-9829) or visit www.officialpayments.com to pay taxes by credit card over the Internet. (For telephone payments, enter West Virginia Jurisdiction Code 5700 when prompted.)

You will be asked to enter information such as:

• The type of tax or fee.
• A bill or invoice number (if paying a bill).
• Your credit card information.
• The amount of the tax payment.
• Your social security number or tax identification number.

The system will:

• Tell you the total of your payment including the appropriate fee.
• Obtain approval of the charge.
• Issue an onscreen confirmation number and a printable digital receipt. Confirmation is emailed to users who request it. The charge will also appear on your credit card statement: the tax amount on one line, the convenience fee amount on a separate line.
